Playing Away: The irresistible, trailblazing novel of an affair from the bestselling author of BOTH OF YOU

Product Information

Rose doesn’t have the vocabulary to describe Lucy, she doesn’t like using expletives. A devoted single mum, she fills her life with labeling school uniforms, organic vegetables and car runs for extracurricular activities. She’s an exemplary mother but the boys seem to need her less and less and without them she wonders what she amounts to. Her friends are concerned that her life is devoid of passion, romance or even plans for the future. I'd decided before I was more than two chapters in to "Playing Away" that I hated it. I'm not sure quite what prompted me to keep going. Probably one part stubbornness and one part blind optimism that it might improve. It didn't. Over time she starts to have what she thinks are feelings for John and deep down inside she knows he is wrong for her but she gets desperate and things start to catch up with her and she makes mistakes. The person she never wants to find out about the affair finds out ……… what will the recriminations be? Will Connie come to her senses…. Also right under her eyes another forbidden coupling is going on…..

Buat saya, penokohannya kurang kuat. Konfliknya kurang membuat saya berempati. Selain itu, cara bercerita yang penuh deskripsi panjang dan minim dialog ini cukup melelahkan. Atau memang, tema selingkuh dalam sebuah pernikahan bukan favorit saya ;) Lucy isn’t happy. She was the perfect wife and mother. But Rose was the perfect mistress and she had the capacity to keep Peter happy in ways that escaped Lucy’s grasp. Parks has been married twice, divorcing her first husband aged 32. [2] She has an adult son, Conrad. [8] Works [ edit ] In 2020, Parks entered a deal with MPCA and Engage Productions for cinematic adaptations of her books. [6] Pertama kali baca karya Adele Parks dan sebenarnya cukup penasaran apa sih "Contemporary Romance" itu? Dan setelah berjuang menamatkan membaca, belum nemu apa maksud genre ini.

But Lucy was a pretty wife like a princess. She was a hard worker. She was always busy for her jobs, similarly with Peter. She has no time for Auriol. Then there was Eva, household servant. Although, Lucy loved her daughter so much. Probably Lucy believe that Auriol got her pretty character, including taste of fashion.

Alison doesn’t want to believe him but the evidence begins to corroborate his story. If that wasn’t bad enough, the man tells Allison that his wife died of cancer and that Katherine might have inherited it. Lies, Lies, Lies was shortlisted for the 2020 Fiction Book of the Year in the British Book Awards. [5]Connie Green's life should be perfect. She's married to gentle, loving Luke, has a good job and really fabulous friends. She thinks she can't be happier. The characters weren't particularly well drawn and it's quite tough to sympathise with any of them, even when they are struggling with aspects of their lives. None of them seem particularly likeable and even when there comes a time where you are perhaps encouraged to sympathise with one character, or take sides after disagreements between them; I simply found that I couldn't be bothered. By that point, I was just too bored with the whole thing.
